We’re big fans of these tasty, vegetarian fritters. Feta and onion are a winning combo that pairs beautifully with a fresh, bright yogurt sauce.

Ingredients

½ cup (125 mL) low-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped dill
1 garlic clove, pressed

2 cups (500 mL) packed, grated zucchini (about 1 large zucchini)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 green onions, thinly sliced
½ cup (125 mL) crumbled feta cheese
½ cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
½ tsp (2 mL) ground nutmeg
¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
Oil for brushing

Directions

For the yogurt sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate.
Set the Deluxe Electric Grill & Griddle to 'CUSTOM' for 8 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
For the fritters, combine all the ingredients, except the oil.
When preheated, brush the plates with the oil. Spoon ¼ cup (60 mL) of batter onto griddle; repeat with remaining batter to make 8 fritters; flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon.
Cook until deep golden brown, 3–4 minutes per side. Serve with the sauce.
